Not a MonarchicaI System.

The political economy of monarcl,a

made to work. rcpudiating all the dis
tinciive qualities of man, and limits
itself to the consideration of those he
holds in common with the beast of bur-

Free traders ''limit the moral and
physical existence Of man by specula-

or rs he spins in the factory; but man
impelled to action by more generous
impulses has been struck out by those
political economists. The prosperity

something more evident and more per-
manent than the wealth OF nation"
The late Thomas G. Appleton. of Bos-
ton, gave us the American view of this
subject: 1--WE can only conceive

which to him is worthless compared to
bread. Between the wheels Of compe-

evaporates. his body decays, and he
becomes merely the unresisting extern
sion of machinery without heart.
Now, the first victim of the competing
wheels of England and America must
be our operative. If he can not be fed
through our tariff he must fall to the
level of the rival he struggles with.
and as
"Men must work and women must weep"
